Newham Council

The Council signed a development agreement with St Modwen in March 2006 following two years of due diligence work, financial assessments and community consultation.  The Council will oversee the application process and will ensure that the regeneration is satisfactorily completed.  Newham Council would retain the freehold ownership of the new Queens Market and will ensure that St Modwen operates the Market to the highest standard.
